It's a dirty little secret, and secrets want to be kept. Those who have been covering up stuff are going to be really scared right now, and may well stop covering up in the face of this.
Every time one of these sickening story comes out, it seems to include parents/family adults whom I just do not for the life of me understand. Lewinsky's father almost *proud* that his young daughter is servicing a much-older man, simply because he is the president. Chandra Levy's aunt who was simply delighted her niece was in love, having an affair with a married man, was going to go to all manner of lengths to assist, because the man involved was an MOC. Now the parents of this kid, the news story says MOC from LA didn't push because the parents were "comfortable" with the situation.
I don't get it -- we see stories DAILY on the news of kids being kidnapped, raped, the little boy in Arkansas who was tortured before being murdered, and yet Foley, who demonstrates all the tell-tale signs of pedophile, those emails are not sexually explicit, no, but they are so obvious as to intent. We hear about these outrages time and time again ... how can anyone say he is "comfortable" with the situation?? Again, I just don't get it.
Consider it this way. If the matter were pursued, the publicity would be immense. There would be speculation about whether or not your teenaged son were gay.
The boy was no longer a page, but safe at home. He wasn't harmed, really, just grossed out. The boy doesn't seem inclined to pursue a relationship with Foley, he wasn't seeming to be influenced.
If you felt that the people you spoke with were going to be proactive in making sure Foley couldn't get near more pages, that may be good enough for you.
